BOTTLE-STOPPER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 27, 1906.

Application filed April '7, 1906. Serial No. 310,430.

T at whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, OLA S. PUGERUD, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, N. Y., have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a clear, full, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved bottle-stopping means which will combine with it a means for rendering the refilling of the bottle difficult.

In carrying out this invention I make use of a non-removable cap of materially greater diameter than the bottle-neck, the means for preventing its removal being preferably a projection or flange upon or adjacent to the mouth of the bottle and projections upon the interior of the cap, which form a restricted part of less diameter than the projection adjacent to the mouth. The skirt of the cover is preferably so located that one must pour around a corner, which is immaterial when emptying the bottle, but obstructs the refilling of the same. The cap may be made of metal or glass and wedged into place or sealed in place. I prefer to provide a pouring lip or flange on the cap and on the bottle-neck or on either of them. I prefer also to form a spiral groove on the bottle neck with which may engage a projection on the cap, permitting a limited longitudinal motion of the cap relatiyely to the bottle upon the rotation of the cap.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is vertical central section of my preferred form of improved bottle-stopping means. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of a modified form of my invention. Fig. 3 is a similar view of a still different modification. similar to Fig. 1, showing a metal cap; and Fig. is a view showing method of pouring.

As shown in the drawings in Fig. 1, 1 is the bottle-neck having a spiral groove 2, terminating in an abutment 3. The cap 4 is shown as formed of glass and of two different internal diameters, forming two chambers 5 and 6, each materially larger than that part of the bottle-neck which it incloses. A flat cork-7, which may freely fit within the cap over the bottle-mouth, is held in position thereon when the cap is in the position shown in that figure. The lower edge of the cap may be provided with a pouring lip or flange 8, extending outwardly to aid in pouring the contents of the bottle. A projection or finger 9 may be formed integrally with the cap Fig. 4 is a viewand a second finger 10 may, if desired, be cemented into place in the cap, as shown at 11. At least one of the two projections 9 and 10, however secured, should constitute a stop means for preventing entire removal of the cap from the bottle.

In Fig. 2 I have shown the bottle-neck 21' as having an enlarged projection or flange 22 surrounding the bottle-mouth, while a nonremovable cap 23, having a restricted internal diameter at 24 and open at the top, is attached at 25 to a flange 26, formed on the bottle-neck, thus producing a breaking-ring between the cap and the bottle. The bottle when filled has a cork 27 placed over the orifice, upon which a disk 28, preferably of glass, is forced down and sealed in position by suitable sealing means 29 between the disk 28 and upper rim of the cap. The de' vice of this view, Fig. 2, before being used must be struck a sharp blow upon the cap suf ficient to break the breaking-ring uniting the cap to the bottleneck, when it can be used in the same manner as the device of Fig. 1, ex-

cepting that no means are shown in this view,

though they are shown in Fig. 3, for tightly closing the bottle after part of the contents has been poured.

In Fig. 3 the bottle-neck 30 is formedwith a cup-like flange 31, into which depends the lower end 32 of the cap 33, which cap carries centrally located a cork 34 of the ordinary' plug construction. The part 32 of the cap is of a restricted diameter, so that it will not pass the flange 35, surrounding the bottlemouth, while the lower edge of the part 32 is formed as a flanged pouring lip 36. The disadvantage of this bottle over that shown in Fig. 2 is that the restricted portion 32 must be formed after the insertion of the cap over the bottle-neck.

The device shown in Fig. 4 consists of the bottle-neck 41, spiral groove 42, an abutment 43, and cork 47, all as shown in Fig. 1; but in place of a glass stopper or cap I have shown a metal cap 44, having inwardly-pressed fingers or lugs to fit the spiral groove, while a ring 46 isshown as formed on the bottle-neck to support a pouring lip or flange 48, within which the pouring-lip 49 at the base of the cap may be located.

In pouring operation all of the devices shown in Figs. 1 to 4 operate substantially as shown in Fig. 5, particularly when provided with the pouring-lip 48, affixed to the bottleneck. In pouring the liquid flows through the mouth around the lower edge thereof and along the lower side of the cap, where it is dia rected by the pouring lip or flange of the cap either directly to a glass or against the pouring-flange afiixed to the neck. Air may readily pass to the bottle along the under side of the top of the cap to displacethe liquid to be 4 parent.

What I claim is 1. A bottle having a cap longitudinally movable upon the bottle-neck, means for preventing its removal from said neck, comprising an inwardly-turned projection on the cap and integral therewith, said cap having a materially greater diameter in at least part of its interior forming a substantial passage from the bottle-mouth to the exterior of the bottle-cap. I

2. A bottle having a cap longitudinally movable upon the bottle-neck, means for preventing its removal from said neck, comprising an inwardly-turned projection on the cap and integral therewith, said cap having a materially greater diameter in at least part of its interior forming a substantial passage from the bottle-mouth to the exterior of the bottle-cap, and a cork between the bottlemouth and the under side of the cap.

3. A bottle having a cap longitudinally movable upon the bottle-neck, means for preventing its removal from said neck, comprising an inwardly-turned projection on the cap and integral therewith, said cap having a materially greater diameter in at least part of its interior forming a substantial passage from the bottle-mouth to the exterior of the bottle-cap, and a pouring fiange adjacent to the skirt of the cap 4. A bottle having a cap longitudinally movable upon the bottle-neck, means for preventing its removal from said neck, said cap having a materially greater'diameter in at least part of its interior forming a sub stantial passage from' the bottle-mouth to the exterior of the bottle-cap, a projection on the bottle-mouth said means for preventing removal of the cap consisting of a projection within the cap forming a restricted passage of less diameter than said bottle-mouth and projection.

5 A bottle having a neck portion provided with a spiral groove terminating in an abutment, a non-removable cap fitting loosely over the neck portion and having a projection engaging said groove, whereby upon rotation of the cap it may be moved to seal the bottle-neck or to leave an open passage between the opening of the cap and bottle-neck.

6. A bottle having a neck portion provided with a spiral groove terminating in an abutment, a non-removable cap fitting loosely over the neck portion and having a projection engaging said groove, whereby upon rotation of the cap it may be moved to seal thebottle-neck or to leave an open passage between the opening of the cap and bottle-neck, and a cork between the bottlemouth and underneath side of the cap.

7. A bottle having a neck portion provided with a spiral groove terminatmg in an abutment, a non-removable cap fitting loosely over the neck portion and having a projection. engaging said groove, whereby upon rotation of the cap it may be moved to seal the bottle-neck or to leave an open passage between the opening of the cap and bottle-neck, and a pouring-lip adjacent to the cap.

8. A bottle having a neck portion provided with a spiral groove terminating in an abutment, a non-removable cap fitting loosely over the neck portion and having a projection engaging said groove, whereby upon rotation of the cap it may be moved to seal the bottle-neck or to leave an open passage between the opening of the cap and bottleneck, and a pouring-lip secured to the bottle-neck.
